Emily Blunt’s ‘guilt’ over separation from daughters with John Krasinski and acting hiatus

Film fans may fear that Emily Blunt will be away from the big screen for 2024 after revealing she is taking a year off to spend more time with her family.

The 40-year-old British actress is married to American actor, writer and director John Krasinski, 44, and together they are the proud parents of nine-year-old daughter Hazel and seven-year-old Violet. And while Emily revealed she will be taking a year off to spend more time with her girls, it will still appear in cinemas throughout 2024.

Last year, the actress appeared in the hit movie Oppenheimer and the Netflix film Pain Hustlers – and this year she’s set to star opposite Ryan Gosling in the action comedy The Fall Guy and lend her voice to the character of a unicorn in the upcoming fantasy comedy IF. Which is used for imaginary friends.

Both films will be released in May – while Emily has been tipped for awards success as she has been nominated for a Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice, Satellite and Saturn Award for her role as Kathryn “Kitty” Oppenheimer; Along with the Oscars, the BAFTA and Emmy Award nominations are also expected to be announced in the coming months.

Last year, while promoting Oppenheimer, Emily explained why she was withdrawing from the acting world as she struggled to balance acting and parenting. She told the Table for Two podcast: “It’s one of those things when people are like, ‘How do you balance that?’ I never feel like I’m doing it right, you know.

“I worked a lot last year and my oldest child is nine, so we’re in the last year of single digits. And I think (like) the cornerstones of their day are very important when they’re little. And it’s, ‘Will you wake me up? will you take me to school will you pick me up ‘Will you put me to bed?’ And I just need to be there for all of them for a good stretch. And I felt it in my bones. I had a wonderful time on the projects I did last year. Some were tighter than others, some harder than others. Some were more time consuming than others.

“That’s time-consuming, I think, just because of the emotional cost on me, on the kids, on the balance is getting less and less for me. And I’m very prone to guilt, I think all mothers are. You ‘I just feel bad, God forbid, wanting something outside of being a mother.’

Emily and John have been praised for their parenting skills in Hollywood in the past, with a source telling Us Weekly in 2018: “Their careers may be busy, but they have a great family life… For the most part, they’re just normal moms— Dads take their kids to birthday parties and play dates. On weekends they are out to eat and play in the park.”

The pair are also open books about their approach to parenting and their love for their two daughters. In May 2021, Emily told the Sunday Times: “I don’t want my children to feel any more important or special or to be in the spotlight than other children. If they can stay oblivious for long, I’ll be thrilled. They don’t even want to see what I do. They don’t even like it when I put on makeup. They don’t like any of them! They want me to be their mom.”

And Emily has previously discussed her children’s changing accents as she and John moved them between the UK and the USA. Appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2016, Emily revealed: “Hazel was my accent for a really long time and she used to say things like ‘water’, which I was really proud of… (but) the other day (she ) changed her dictation). I was like, ‘No!’”

However, an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! In 2020, the actress explained that the girls’ accents had changed after moving to the UK and enrolling in a British school. She revealed: “They were actually at a proper school with school uniforms… Miraculously, they look totally British, which I’m absolutely over the moon about.”
